    Hi, everybody. I’m speaking to you this week from a factory in Petersburg, Virginia, where they’re bringing on more than 100 new workers to build parts for the next generation of jet engines.  It’s a story that’s happening more frequently across the country. Our businesses just added 233,000 jobs last month – for a total of nearly four million new jobs over the last two years. More companies are choosing to bring jobs back and invest in America. Manufacturing is adding jobs for the first time since the 1990s, and we’re building more things to sell to the rest of the world stamped with three proud words: Made in America.  And it’s not just that we’re building stuff. We’re building better stuff. The engine parts manufactured here in Petersburg will go into next-generation planes that are lighter, faster, and more fuel-efficient.  That last part is important. Because whether you’re paying for a plane ticket, or filling up your gas tank, technology that helps us get more miles to the gallon is one of the easiest ways to save money and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.  The recent spike in gas prices has been another painful reminder of why we have to invest in this technology. As usual, politicians have been rolling out their three-point plans for two-dollar gas: drill, drill, and drill some more. Well, my response is, we have been drilling. Under my Administration, oil production in America is at an eight-year high. We’ve quadrupled the number of operating oil rigs, and opened up millions of acres for drilling.  But you and I both know that with only 2% of the world’s oil reserves, we can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices – not when consume 20 percent of the world’s oil. We need an all-of-the-above strategy that relies less on foreign oil and more on American-made energy – solar, wind, natural gas, biofuels, and more.   That’s the strategy we’re pursuing. It’s why I went to a plant in North Carolina earlier this week, where they’re making trucks that run on natural gas, and hybrid trucks that go further on a single tank.
[What I'm not telling you:  At the outset, I'd like to tell you that this blather opportunity was recorded yesterday after my bluster at the Rolls-Royce jet engine plant in Petersburg, Va.  This is being broadcast as a part of my "Condemning Conservatives Tour" re-immaculation campaign--which, incidently--is being funded in large measure by the American taxpayer; in direct violation of current election law!! 
    That being said, let's get onto the lies-of-the-week.  We're building better stuff:  We--American manufacturers--had no choice!!  Around the world, the quality of "Made in America" products was laughable, at best!!  The demands of the labor and service unions were the primary reason for the degeneration in quality, nationwide.  Labor union members--much like the vast majority of teachers' union members--know it almost takes 'an act of Congress' to fire them so quality is the last thing they're thinking about.  Foremost on their minds of late has been things like whose got the 'joints' for today's morning and afternoon breaks; who was responsible for the beer and liquor for the lunch break.  Can you see why quality had to become THE issue?!?  
    Now, on to the regime's lies on oil, crude oil, oil reserves, et al.   That "....2% of the world's oil reserves...." is pure conjecture on the regime's part.  First-we're only considering the world's PROVEN oil reserves; the figure we use is whatever number some guy in a Palace broom-closet 'pulls-out-of-his-ass.'  The regime claims on practically anything 'oil' won't stand up under even the loosest scrutiny!! 
*Note (from non-partisan Congressional Research Service): 'PROVEN' oil reserves: have a certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.  Now that you know that single statistic, jeopardizes the honesty of any other blather I may spew-forth on the oil, the drilling, the retail gas price, et al; issues.... as if 'honesty' were an issue with me, with George Soros, with other regime-ists! 
    Continuing with the 'oil lies....'  The United States--if widely accepted statistics were used--would replace Saudi Arabia as the world's pre-eminent 'oil reserves' country.  As George Soros has suggested, we've used the complicit and duplicitous national pamphleteer 'corpse' to perpetuate 'the big lie' about oil; keeping the 'technically recoverable' statistic out of print, off the internet.  Currently, the 'technically recoverable' amount of crude oil stands at ONE-POINT-FIVE TRILLION BARRELS!!  Those 'technically recoverable' reserves will fuel the United States for 250 years at present demand rates!!  By comparison, Saudi Arabian estimated oil reserves are pegged at 700 billion barrels, roughly HALF of U.S. reserves.
If it's not possible to 'drill our way out,' then why are we drilling at all?!?]
And it’s why I’ve been focused on fuel efficient cars since the day I took office. Over the last few years, the annual number of miles driven by Americans has stayed roughly the same, but the total amount of gas we use has been going down. In other words, we’re getting more bang for our buck.  If we accelerate that trend, we can help drivers save a significant amount of money. That’s why, after 30 years of inaction, we finally put in place new standards that will make sure our cars average nearly 55 miles per gallon by the middle of the next decade – nearly double what they get today. This wasn’t easy: we had to bring together auto companies, and unions, and folks who don’t ordinarily see eye to eye. But it was worth it.  Because these cars aren’t some pie in the sky solution that’s years away. They’re being built right now – by American workers, in factories right here in the U.S.A. Every year, our cars and trucks will be able to go further and use less fuel, and pretty soon, you’ll be able to fill up every two weeks instead of every week – something that, over time, will save the typical family more than $8,000 at the pump. We’ll reduce our oil consumption by more than 12 billion barrels. That’s a future worth investing in.  So we have a choice. Right now, some folks in Washington would rather spend another $4 billion on subsidies to oil companies each year. Well you know what? We’ve been handing out these kinds of taxpayer giveaways for nearly a century. And outside of Congress, does anyone really think that’s still a good idea? I want this Congress to stop the giveaways to an oil industry that’s never been more profitable, and invest in a clean energy industry that’s never been more promising. We should be investing in the technology that’s building the cars and trucks and jets that will prevent us from dealing with these high gas prices year after year after year. Ending this cycle of rising gas prices won’t be easy, and it won’t happen overnight. But that’s why you sent us to Washington – to solve tough problems like this one. So I’m going to keep doing everything I can to help you save money on gas, both right now and in the future. I hope politicians from both sides of the aisle join me. Let’s put aside the bumper-sticker slogans, remember why we’re here, and get things done for the American people.
[What I'm not telling you:  "....30 years of inaction...." is pure conjecture; pure bullshit!! The first two years of my regime we made no changes in the CAFE standards, preferring to ride on 'the coattails' of that evil George W. Bush!!  2011 was the regime's first step in tinkering with said standards.  Prior to that, the two-terms of 'Dub-ya' and the last "Slick-Willie" Clinton-year there were no CAFE changes; presumably due to the mult-front wars 'Dub-ya' was involved with.  So.... 'thirty-years' is bullshit!! 
    If I actually 'gave a crap' I might consider what actions, what changes the auto manufacturers might be forced to make, given my demand for 55 mpg by the 2025 model year.  To raise the mpg average of a vehicle there are a couple of possible methods; more efficient internal combustion engines and less weight-per-horsepower of said vehicles.  The effeciency has just about reached it's limit, so that leaves weight.  The manufacturers have reduced most of the excess weight out of the vehicles to achieve the CAFE standards to date.  How much weight can be removed without jeopardizing the safety of the driver and passengers?!?
    I've found that most things I'm concerned about are cyclical; there are built-in ups and downs.  For instance, global warming and cooling is on a PROVEN 600 year cycle; retail fuel prices have two or three up-and-down cycles per year.  I have managed to break the retail fuel ups-and-downs cycles!!  Since my immaculation in 2009, the national average of retail gas has increased  105%; the same average in diesel has increased 95% just in the past three years.... and they're still goin' up!!   This is where--again--the evil George W. Bush and "Slick-Willie" come into play:  If 'Dub-ya' had stopped "playing soldier" long enough to approve some drilling permits we wouldn't be in this fix!!  If "Slick-Willie" cudd'a kept "his-pecker-in-his-pocket;" kept Monica Lewinsky out of the knee-well of his desk, he cudd'a approved some drilling permits as well!! 
See, IT'S NEVER MY FAULT!!!!]
